EasthamptonCity for Android
Dev Note:
Three permissions required are:
INTERNET (Allows the application to open a network socket to the city DB to get the data).
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE (Allows applications to access information about networks such as are we connected to the internet so we can retrieve the data we need)
WRITE_SETTINGS(Allows an application to read or write the system settings to save a file with the the user ID on your mobile device for users that login.)
The last feature for login is not publicly available yet. and write settings basically means write and read a cookie for this app to remember the user like any other Web based login. It does not mean the app gets to rampage through your settings. What's more it can only read settings it saves so it can't detect who you are without your actually logging which of course you cannot do yet. The login feature is intended to be used for city administrators.

Interesting, but why do you need to have access to my system settings?
